Testimonials
“I have known Troy Carr, Ph.D. since he was a post-doctoral fellow in the Developmental
Medicine Center at Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School. Over the years I have
referred many children and families to him and I have had continuous rave reviews about the
success of his care and care model. Once he accepts a referral of one of my families, I know
everything will start to improve for them.”
Leonard A Rappaport MD, MS, Chief, Division of Developmental Medicine Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School
“Dr. Carr gave our daughter the tools to manage her anxiety, and gave us the tools to support her.
He’s been a game-changer.

Parent of a 23- year-old college graduate
“Hi Dr. Carr! Do you remember me? I haven’t seen you since I was in the eighth grade, but since
I graduate high school June 1st, I’ve been reaching out to all the people who have positively
impacted me over the last 18 years. I remember the work we did together like it was yesterday. I
was very shy, very anxious, and could not self-advocate for the world. As I go through my day to
day life, I recall our work quite frequently, and you should know that it lives on daily. Thanks for
making me a far more confident, smarter, and better advocate! As I go to Wheaton College (MA)
this fall, the work we did together will continue to exist throughout my life.”
